L: Murky dull orange, completely opaque. Minimal head and no lacing.
S: Nice aromas of orange, lactose and vanilla.
T: Follows the nose with orange dominating the flavor with tangerine tartness at finish. Touches of vanilla at the finish that carry over to after taste.
F: Light in body, medium in weight. Moderate carbonation with no booze presence.
O: I think 450N achieved what they were aiming for, and it is rightfully tasty. I like the flavor it brings and it strongly resembles the flavor of a 50/50 bar. I think the vanilla should be amplified just a bit to adding that creme flavor, but that is a minimal suggestion. Great flavor, which is expected. I am very glad to have tried. Cheers!

Hazy dark muddled orange-peach hues lie under a khaki blanket that fizzles out quickly.
A prickly active carbonation amplifies a flavor that is more zesty of spiced orange than the smooth creamy citrus decadence you'd expect from something called Orange Creamsicle. It needs more juicy orange and also more creaminess and vanilla, but it's refreshing and tasty all the same--less so in a pastry sour way, and moreso in the vein of a classic Berliner with flavored syrup added. A bit of pink bubblegum and cracker come out after the semi-dry finish.
